Anyone have one of these? http://sites.garmin.com/rv/
Looks like an interesting toy.

Don't know that is out yet. The model it is based on is the DEZL 760LMT which is designed for the Big Rigs. The DEZL is a good unit that I know people have been happy with. I think I would wait for awhile so that others can work the bugs out of the new design......of course if you wait just a bit longer the price will also come down!

I'm intrigued! We've found this trip from Dallas TX across Arkansas, through Tennessee, up through Kentucky and into Indiana that our Rand McNally on a few occasions didn't guide us at a hwy split, or didn't give instructions quick enough to make a lane change or turn. This caused more stress than needed, on at least 4-5 occasions.

So I guess I'd like this one that suggests lane guides, and "real directions".

And voice activated, sounds like a helpful feature, if it truly works.

I am using a TomTom that is set up for truckers. I like it but this new unit has some interesting features. I am also thinking about a rear camera-might work out well.

For those that are interested in this GPS, it is not yet available for purchase. The following message is what I received from Garmin this morning. If the release of this follows the usual.....It will NOT be on time......Map updates and everything else always take longer than they say!

Dear Randy ,
Thank you for contacting Garmin International.

There is not specific release date for the RV 760 just yet. It should be released later this month or early next month.
With Best Regards,
